"Toots and I." BY A THIRTEEN YEAR OLD BOY. Toots and I used to sit together in school, and that sneaky rascal always contrived to get me on the shady side in winter and the sunny one in summer. He always secured the longest piece of "lasses" candy and the biggest half of the apple; still Toots and I kind of hung together and settled all our difficulties by a square round down the dirty alley where our washerwoman lived, after school hours. After our old school-master left there came a slim Quaker girl wearing blue goggles and a comical little white muslin cap perched on the top of her head. We boys stood in awful awe of her, I tell you. Toots and I stood it about a month, I think, before we pitched into each other again. But one day my Aunt Nancy came to see us, all the way from York State, and she gave me an orange, and gave my brother Ben one too. I ate my own, then licked Ben, and took his orange. I carried it to school in my pocket and conceived it would be vastly fine to give it to Sallie Brown. But, alas, that odious Toots sat on the end of the bench next her, and besides I was a most egregious coward among girls. One sly glance from Sallie Brown's bright eyes would set my heart beating like a drum stick in the hands of a small boy on the 4th of July. And one glum glance from her caused me more pain than one of Toots' most vigorous thumps planted in the pit of my stomach. But Toots was especially gracious that morning. I believe that he smelt that orange and resolved to have it at all hazards. Presently I grew affectionate and confidential. I whispered my designs to Toots and he entirely approved of them. If I would just pass that orange to him he said he would give it to Sallie Brown, with my compliments, at recess. I fell into the trap and at recess had the exquisite pleasure of seeing Toots perched up among the branches of a mulberry tree devouring that orange and shooting the seeds at Sallie Brown and me. All our fellows agreed that if I didn't lick Toots that night they would change my nick-name from "Bossy" to "Sneaky." Well, that night I went for Toots vigorously, and he went for me. After some half-dozen rounds the boys concluded that Toots had had enough for that time An Unpretentious Queen. A Berlin correspondent, writing of the royal party of Sweden, says: Sunday the whole royal party was expected in Potsdam. We, though not born Potsdamers, as every one who is so eager to tell, are for the time being one of her citizens, and interested in keeping up her good name. So, bright and early—indeed, an hour too early, for we had forgotten the hour—we strolled through the park, which was in all its June glory, to Wild Park Station, by the new palace. Learning that the guests were not expected until eleven o'clock, we sat leisurely down on the edge of the platform that led to the royal waiting-room. In a few minutes a carriage drove from the palace directly in front of us, and the Crown Princess, accompanied by a lady and gentleman, alighted and took the first train for Berlin, in order to escort her guests out to her summer home, with the usual American quickness, and profiting by the knowledge of royal etiquette that has been constantly dinned in our ears for the last four Wars, we said to some German near: "Who is the lady with the Crown Princess?" "Her court lady, I suppose." "But did you observe," we persisted, "that she sat to the right of the Crown Princess and descended from the carriage first?" "Oh, yes, but that must have been because this was an unceremonious drive." Still we had our unexpressed suspicions, and venturing to the conclusion, we asked who was the lady with the Crown Princess. But the coachman was as cute as we were. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Really, I did not even look around. It may have been the Countess of Bruhl." There was nothing in the lady's appearance to attract attention, unless it were the extreme plainness of her dress. She wore a heavy water-proof, a plain straw bonnet, and black lace veil. Her figure was tall and commanding, but she appeared quiet and retiring, and stood carelessly in the doorway waiting the approaching train. All eyes were of course riveted on the Crown Princess, who looked very pleasant and amiable as she returned the greeting of the half dozen persons who gathered round the depot. She wore this morning a dark navy blue trained skirt with graduated groups of narrow knife plaitings. Over this an overskirt and waist of light blue summer silk, trimmed with exquisitely fine Valenciennes lace. The hat was formed of two silks—the SAN FRANCISCO.

All our fellows agreed that if I didn’t lick Toots that night they would change my nick-name from “Bossy” to “Sneaky.” Well, that night I went for Toots vigorously, and he went for me. After some half-dozen rounds the boys concluded that Toots had had enough for that time and separated us. The next morning I didn’t want to go to school. I said I was sick; but when mater familias proposed a hot bath, and sending for old Dr. Suredeath, I suddenly recovered, and decided to choose the least of two evils and went to school. Toots was at his desk, blubbering and anon drawing his dirty coat-sleeve across his nose, until his face resembled a barn-door smeared with rotten eggs. The Quaker girl was not long in finding out the cause of his deep sorrow, and desired us to remain after school. Of course Toots declared that I had pounced him for just nothing at all, and I was too big a coward to tell the other side of the story. Never shall I forget that scene. The blue goggles and the little comical cap are indelibly impressed upon my mind: even the little hair mole on the right cheek of that pedagogue was photographed upon my mental proof-plate that memorable evening, while Toots and I stood there waiting to hear our doom. At last the sentence was pronounced. We were each to take a thrashing, or—kiss. Horrors! I jumped three feet from the floor, and sat down plump on my new straw hat. Kiss Toots? the dirtiest-nosed young ragamuffin in Snodville! Kiss that tear and dirt-begrimmed phiz—vorn! Toots said he “would kiss, indeed he would,” and advanced a step or two, but I threw up my hands and managed to gasp out that I would be thrashed till my hide peeled off, sooner than kiss Toots. So she licked me, while Toots stood by and grinned; but I was cured. I never fought Toots again. Storks. A pair of storks built a nest on one of the chimneys of a mansion near Berlin. Having a curiosity to inspect it, the owner climbed up, and found in it one egg, which, being the size of a goose’s egg, was replaced by one belonging to that bird. The storks seemed not to notice the exchange, but no sooner was the egg hatched than the mail bird, perceiving the difference, rose from the nest, and flying around it several times with loud screams, disappeared, and was not seen for three days, during which time the female continued to tend her offspring as usual. Early on the fourth morning, however, the inmates of the house were disturbed by loud and discordant cries in the field fronting the house, when they perceived about five hundred storks assembled in a dense body, and one standing about twenty yards before the rest, apparently haranguing its companions, who stood listening, to all appearances, with great emotion. When this bird had concluded it retired, another took its heavy water-proof, a plain straw bonnet, and black lace veil. Her figure was tall and commanding, but she appeared quiet and retiring, and stood carelessly in the doorway waiting the approaching train. All eyes were of course riveted on the Crown Princess, who looked very pleasant and amiable as she returned the greeting of the half dozen persons who gathered round the depot. She wore this morning a dark navy blue trained skirt with graduated groups of narrow knife plaitings. Over this an overskirt and waist of light blue summer silk, trimmed with exquisitely fine Valenciennes lace. The hat was formed of the two silks, the crown of the dark blue, and a turned-up brim of the light blue, with flintings of the same lace held in place by two blush roses. Her wrap was a dolman, made of the many-colored Turkish embroidery now so much in vogue. When the train for Berlin arrived the cushioned steps were placed before the door, and the strange lady assisted first into the coupe. The Crown Princess and Count Zechendorf followed. The train moved off and we resumed our seats that gave us so admirable a view in order to await the Emperor. The next day we learned that the Queen, tired and worn out, had spent the night quietly at the new palace with the Crown Princess, and was the strange lady who accompanied her to Berlin on Sunday morning. Thanks to our American quickness, we had an excellent view of her, while our German companions, swallowing in the Crown Princess, had not designed to give the plain woman a glance, and could not even tell how she looked. —Hearth and Home. A Legend of the Wappeckquemow. Among the tribes in the neighborhood of Trinity River, is found a legend relating to a certain Wappeckquemow, who was a giant, and apparently the father and leader of a pre-human race like himself. He was expelled from the country that he inhabited—near the mouth of the Klamath—for disobeying or offending some great god, and a curse was pronounced against him, so that not even his descendants should ever return to that land. On the expulsion of these Anakim, the ancestors of the people to whom this legend belongs came down from the northwest, a direction of migration, according to Judge Roseborough, uniformly adhered to in the legends of all the tribes of north-west California. These new settlers, however, like their predecessors of the giant race, quarrelled with the great god and were abandoned by him to their own devices, being given over into the hands of certain evil powers or devils. Of these the first is Omaha, who possesses the shape of a grizzly bear is invisible and goes about everywhere bringing sickness and misfortune on mankind. Next there is Makalay, a fiend with a horn like a unicorn; he is swift as wind and moves by great leaps like a kangaroo. The sight of him is usually death to mortals. There is, thirdly, a dreadful being called Kalicknateck, who seems a faithful reproduction of the great thunderbird of the north: thus Kalicknateck “is a huge bird that sits on the mountain-peak, and broods in silence over his thoughts until he is hungry; when he will sweep down over the ocean, snatch up a large whale and carr.” WHEAT—We have sections in the interior ket are increasing.

Early on the fourth morning, however, the inmates of the house were disturbed by loud and discordant cries in the field fronting the house, when they perceived about five hundred storks assembled in a dense body, and one standing about twenty yards before the rest, apparently haranguing its companions, who stood listening, to all appearances, with great emotion. When this bird had concluded, it retired, and another took its place, and seemed to address them in a similar manner. This proceeding and noise was repeated by several successive birds until about eleven o'clock in the forenoon, when the whole flock simultaneously arose into the air uttering dismal cries. The female, all this time was observed to remain on her nest, watching their emotions with apparent trepidation. In a short time the body of storks made towards her, headed by one bird, supposed to be the male, who struck her vehemently three or four times, and knocked her out of the nest; the whole mass then followed the attack, until they had not only destroyed the female stork (who made no attempt either to escape or defend herself), but the young goaling, and utterly removing every vestige of the nest itself. Since that time no stork has built its nest there. Warts are very troublesome and disfiguring. The following is a perfect cure, even of the largest, without leaving any scar. It is a Frenchman's prescription, and has been tested by the writer: Take a small piece of raw beef, steep it all night in vinegar, cut as much from it as will cover the wart, and tie it on; or, if the excrescence is on the forehead, fasten on with strips of sticking plaster. It may be removed in the day, and put on every night. In one fortnight the wart will die and peel off. The same prescription will cure corns. A great quantity of cotton is now worked up in India. There are eighteen steams pinning and weaving mills at work in the Bombay presidency alone, employing 4,500 looms, 405,000 spindles, and 10,000 hands, and turning out daily 100,000 lbs. of yarn. The weekly consumption of cotton is 1,500 bales, and likely to increase largely. There are also many cotton manufactories in other parts of India. Reform there, as in Europe, although the industry is young, is needed in the employment of child labor and the long hours of work. Of these first is Ornila, who possessing the shape of a grizzly bear is invisible and goes about everywhere bringing sickness and misfortune on mankind. Next there is Makalay, a fiend with a horn like a unicorn; he is swift as the wind and moves by great leaps like a kangaroo. The sight of him is usually death to mortals. There is thirdly, a dreadful being called Kalicknateck, who seems a faithful reproduction of the great thunderbird of the north: thus Kalicknateck "is a huge bird that sits on the mountain-peak, and broods in silence over his thoughts until he is hungry; when he will sweep down over the ocean, snatch up a large whale, and carry it up to his mountain-throne for a single meal." Besides the before mentioned powers of evil, these Trinity people have legends connected with other personages of the same nature among whom are Wanuswegock, Surgelp, Napousney, and Nequitch. When white miners first came to work on the Trinity River their advent caused, as may be imagined, much unsatisfactory speculation among the aborigines; some saying one thing of the whites and some another. At last an old seer of Hoopah Valley settled the question by declaring that the new-comers were descendants of that banished Wappeckquemow, from whose heads the already-mentioned curse, forbidding their return, had been by some means lifted.—Bancroft's Notices Races. An old lawyer, in an interior town in Massachusetts, whose son is yet one of the brightest ornaments of the bar of that State, was not very particular about the appearance of his office. In fact it was notoriously dirty. He was one day engaged in the trial of a case when it became necessary to prove that a transaction, in which he himself had acted as counsel, took place in a certain year. The old gentleman called to the stand Josiah A., who had been a student with him some years before. He was asked if he remembered the occurrence. And he said he did—the he was present in the office. "What year was it?" inquired Mr. Hiblandy. "Oh, it was the year you had your office swept out," was the reply. Strive, strive my soul to be innocent; yes, beneficent! Does any man wound them? Not only forgive, but work into thy thoughts intelligence of the kind of pain that then mayest never inflict it on another spirit. Then its work is done; it will never search thy whole nature again. Oh love much and be forgiven. This adjutant, a tall Indian bird of the stork species, will swallow a hare whole. MALINS steady at 6@12 BEESWAX—Receives prices are steady at demand for export.

We have to record the volume of general business for the past week as having been quite fair and above the average for same seasons in former years, and although without special activity in any particular department except that of grain, yet showing a marked increase over past seasons of quite healthy and encouraging character, giving evidence of permanent growth and prosperity throughout the entire coast west of the Rocky Mountains. In our last the grain market was steady but firm with light transactions, in view of an expected rise in the European market. Expectations of holders have been realized and we now report a steady advance in the market since our last writing, equal to fifteen cents per cent, and the market firm and steady at the close with an upward tendency, in sympathy with a corresponding advance in the Liverpool quotations. Since July 1st, twelve ships have been dispatched to Europe ports with fall cargoes of wheat and flour, say 225,000 extrail wheat and 16,800 lb flour, aggregating a value of $23,000. There still remains in our harbor 62,000 tons disengaged vessels, nearly all first-class grain-carriers seeking business. Freights have declined during the week and are now obtainable at £2@2 is 6d to port direct, but little business doing at the moment. Flour has lately advanced in price to such an extent as almost entirely check purchases for export; there is therefore but little doing except for home consumption, the rise keeping pace with the advance in prices of wheat. Barley is in good demand with light receipts to date, prices have improved and purchasers are readily found for all good bright lots of new at our quotations. Oats are coming in quite freely and the market is active and rares firm. The bulk of the spring clip has been marketed and disposed of at good prices. The present receipts are chiefly of choice northern Spring and small lots of southern Fall. Transactions for the week have been light and the market reported weak and declining. Dairy produce continues to bring good prices, the demand being unusually good and our markets not overstocked with home products, while receipts from Eastern markets have been quite light, eggs especially have maintained the late advance in price, on account of light supplies. Fruits of all seasonable varieties are in active demand and command high prices as compared with former seasons; the supply is quite moderate; our quotations have a wide range, as prices fluctuate daily according to the supply. WHEAT. We have reports of large transactions in the interior, supplies in this market are increasing. Prices have been steadily advancing, corresponding to the rise in the European markets, which has been quite steady and uniform during the week.
